General Mach Discussion / Modbus Serial Plugin Issue
« on: June 15, 2014, 07:34:13 PM »
I've been using modbus for a few years but now have the need to read a DWORD (16 bit). I've always ued the non-plugin setup which always worked great. I recently tried the plugin version because it seems like it may be easier to deal with a 16 bit number. Here's the issue. When I disable the plugin and bring up the standard modbus setup screen, I can go to the test screen, enter addresses and such, hit read and it works. When I enable the plugin and go to the test page all I get is a timeout. The port is connecting properly, just timing out. If I disable the plugin and go back to the standard setup, it all works again.
Does anyone have any ideas? Or possibly an in-depth explanation of how to set up modbus using the plugin? I've been through the videos and everything else I could google to no avail.
Thanks
